Silver decorated lithium niobat nanostructure by UV activation method for silver-lithium niobate/silicon heterojunction device.

ABSTRACT: Lithium niobite (LiNbO₃) nanostructure were successfully synthesized by chemical bath deposition method (CBD) and then decorated with silver nitrate (AgNO₃) through UV activation method at different immersion durations (5, 15, 25, 35, and 45 s). The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) effects on the optical and structural properties were studied and analyzed using various scientific devices and technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that all the samples have a hexagonal structure with a maximum diffraction peak at the (012), and the existence of silver atoms could be recognized at 2θ = 38.2° which corresponds to the (111) diffraction plane. The optical absorption of nanocomposites depicted the presence of plasma peak related to silver (Ag) at 350 nm. The estimated
